My timing belt tensioner started to whine loudly at 65,000 miles.
Viscous cooling fan bearing failed resulting in a horrible whirring noise.
At 71,000 miles the coolant became contaminated with engine oil! After having the head gasket replaced and the cylinder head pressure tested the fault remains. My local dealer thinks the engine block may have to be replaced.
The wind noise from the drivers window at 65 MPH plus is excessive.
The standard stereo system is very basic.
Climate control is superb.
1.8 litre non turbo is very sluggish.
When you say the timing belt tensioner was making that sound at 65,000 miles, that might be because you didn't have it replaced at 50,000 miles. Did you replace the timing belt at 50,000 miles?
